Ropex 2007 Plans Moving Along
The Ropex committee has had several meetings this summer and plans for the 2007 show are
well under way. We will be holding the show from May 18 to May 20. The theme has been
agreed upon. Honoring: 50th Anniversary of Sputnik (Friday), Ice Hockey (Saturday), 100th
Anniversary of Scout Camp (Sunday). We are in the Main Arena (without the ice) at the ESL
Sports Centre, 2700 Brighton-
Henrietta Townline Road, on
the Monroe Community College
campus. It has free wireless
Internet access, including
in its restaurant, snack
bar, and meeting rooms. The
facility is air conditioned and
handicapped accessible. The
lighting is unbelievably good.
The arena is south of the city
off I-390 and 10 minutes away from the Thruway and airport. Several moderately-priced
hotels and motels and restaurants for every taste and budget are nearby. Marketplace Mall
is down the road with more than 125 shops.
The next issue of our Hinges & Tongs newsletter will contain a registration form for membership,
which may be duplicated. Any member recruiting two new candidates will receive
next year’s dues free. This has been a long-standing way of promoting membership.
RPA members who either receive the Stamp Insider as part of the drop shipment to
the organization or who do not receive it at all because they are unable to attend meetings,
now can have the journal mailed directly to their homes. There will be no additional
cost for those already receiving the Stamp Insider and a nominal charge of $3.30 a year
for those who have not been receiving it. If you wish to receive the Stamp Insider by mail,
please send a letter or e-mail to Albert W. Starkweather, Editor, Stamp Insider, 5520
Gunn Hwy. #1406, Tampa, FL 33624-2847; astarkweather@nystampclubs.org. If you
haven’t seen the new and improved Stamp Insider, please request a sample copy.
